Oh Man, I Want These Budget iPhone Photos To Be Real

Oh Man, I Want These Budget iPhone Photos To Be Real

Rumor has it that Apple is set to release a new budget version of the iPhone next month. A blog and/or human person called Sonny Dickson has published a huge gallery of images which supposedly show the back housing of the "iPhone 5C." Is that what the cheap iPhone looks like, if it even exists? I sure hope so.

Tesla hopes China will pay off

Lee van der Voo

This Tesla Model S with an 85-kilowatt-hour battery is 416 horses of fast. It can hit 130 miles an hour and reaches 60 in 4.2 seconds.

Staff San Francisco Business Times

Tesla is getting ready to launch its electric Model S sedan in China this month, a market that company founder and CEO calls a wild card for the company, the Mercury News reports.

Chinese bought 19 million cars last year, and luxury brands are increasingly popular. And the Chinese government has strongly supported electric cars.

5?hot health care careers for those looking to make a difference

Written by Donna Gregory
?

Are you seeking job security? Then look no further than your local hospital or physician?s office.?

The overall economy might be languishing, but the health-care industry is thriving, fueled by federally-mandated health reforms and baby boomers who are getting older, sicker and require more care.?

According to a 2012 Georgetown University study, more than 5 million new health care jobs will be created between 2010 and 2020?a growth rate twice that of the national economy. That means a lot of career opportunities for the right people with the right skills.

?I think health care is going to continue to be the one industry that remains virtually unfazed by our tumultuous economy,? says Michael Summers, provost of the Virginia Beach, Va., campus of Tidewater Community College. ?I tell young people that if they want to get into an area where they can weather the ups and downs of the economy, either science, technology or health care is best. It?s going to continue to be a stable employer for generations to come.??

So, what are the most in-demand health care jobs these days? We asked human resources reps from local health care systems to identify their hardest-to-fill positions. Here?s what they had to say.?

?
Medical records and health information technicians

Why they?re in demand: More patients will lead to the prescription of more medical tests and procedures. Additional medical records and health information technicians (sometimes called ?coders?) will be needed to organize and manage all of that information. The health care industry?s move from paper-based files to electronic medical records also is driving demand. Expected job growth rate by 2020: 21 percent.?

General duties: Medical records and health information technicians organize and manage health records, including coding medical procedures for reimbursement by insurance. ?The people who are really good coders can make a difference to the organization?s bottom line,? says Kim Coleman, director of talent acquisition and workforce planning with Bon Secours Health System. ?You have to have a vast knowledge to get it right.??

Median salary: $32,350

Required education: Postsecondary certificate or associate degree?

?
Physical therapists

Why they?re in demand: Because of advancing health technologies, aging baby boomers are expected to live longer than generations past. More physical therapists will be needed over the next few decades to help older adults? and others who require physical rehabilitation for acute and chronic conditions.?

Fewer people are choosing careers as physical therapists because of more rigorous educational requirements. ?Physical therapy requires a high level of education,? says Laura Amdusky, HR/recruitment manager with Sentara Healthcare. ?It used to be a four-year degree, then it went to a master?s degree.? Expected job growth rate by 2020: 39 percent.

General duties: Physical therapists help ill and injured patients improve their mobility and manage pain. They often work with patients who have temporary or permanent disabilities, and with those recovering from serious health conditions such as stroke, back and neck injuries and amputations.

Median salary: $76,310

Required education: Master?s or doctoral degree?

?
Physician assistants and?nurse practitioners?

Why they?re in demand: Millions of previously uninsured patients are expected to flood the health care system as government-mandated reforms are enacted. That?s predicted to dramatically increase doctor-to-patient ratios, prompting the need for more physician assistants and nurse practitioners to help physicians manage their caseloads. Expected job growth rate by 2020, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics: 26 percent to 30 percent.?

General duties: Physician assistants and nurse practitioners practice medicine under the direction of a physician. They commonly work in physicians? offices, often providing primary care to patients for a variety of acute and chronic conditions. Most states allow physician assistants and nurse practitioners to prescribe medications. ?They can basically do anything,? explains Dr. C. Donald Combs, vice president and dean of the School of Health Professions at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Va.. ?They just do it under the supervision of an attending physician.?

Median salary: $85,000-$90,000

Required education: Master?s degree?

?

Occupational therapists?

Why they?re in demand: As people live longer, it will create a demand for more occupational therapists to help seniors and others navigate the challenges of living with chronic conditions and maintain as much independence as possible. Expected job growth rate by 2020: 33 percent.

General duties: Occupational therapists oversee the rehabilitation of injured, ill and disabled patients, helping them develop or regain the skills they need to perform daily tasks at home and work. They often work with patients following stroke, heart attack, traumatic brain injury or other major medical events.?

Median salary: $72,320

Required education: Master?s or doctoral degree?

?

Registered nurses (with experience)?

Why they?re in demand: Many colleges and universities increased student enrollments in recent years to meet the growing demand for nurses. The influx of new graduates is helping health care systems fill entry-level jobs, but it?s still a challenge to find experienced nurses for mid- to advanced-level positions. ?It?s not uncommon for us to have a nursing position in a specialty area open for 30 to 45 days to try to find someone who is experienced,? says Regina Harris, administrative director of Riverside Health System?s Talent Recruitment Center. Local health care systems report shortages of experienced registered nurses (with at least two to three years of experience) in specialty areas such as cardiac, oncology, trauma/emergency and others. Expected job growth rate by 2020: 26 percent.

General duties: Registered nurses provide patient care in a variety of settings, including hospital emergency rooms, critical care, operating rooms, physicians? offices, nursing care facilities and others.?

Median salary: $64,690

Required education: Certificate and associate degree programs are still available at some schools, but a bachelor?s degree is now required in many settings.

Microsoft Has to Change SkyDrive's Name Because of a Lawsuit Now, Too

Ha. In a pain-in-the-everything development for Microsoft, it's agreed to change SkyDrive's name because it infringes on a trademark owned by British Sky Broadcasting Group, one of the largest media organizations in the UK. This is, of course, deeply funny.

Al Qaeda affiliate claims responsibility for Iraq bombings

By Raheem Salman

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An al Qaeda-affiliated group claimed responsibility for a wave of bombings across Iraq that killed 60 people on Monday and the Interior Ministry said it was facing an "open war" from insurgents bent on plunging the country into sectarian strife.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, which was formed earlier this year through a merger between al Qaeda's affiliates in Iraq and Syria, said in a statement posted online it had carefully selected its targets, which were mainly Shi'ites.

The 17 blasts were the latest in a relentless campaign of bombings and shootings that have killed more than 4,000 people since the start of the year. Nearly 900 people have lost their lives in militant attacks in July.

Another 26 people were killed in scattered attacks on Tuesday evening, and the bodies of two unidentified men were found in the northern city of Mosul with gunshot wounds and their hands bound behind their backs.

"The country is currently facing an open war from bloodthirsty sectarian forces that aim to plunge the country into chaos," said the Interior Ministry, warning it would deal harshly with anyone found harboring insurgents.

The ministry said it was setting up a hotline for citizens to report information that uncovered "terrorist cells", offering big cash rewards to anyone who came forward.

Hundreds of convicts ran free after simultaneous attacks on two high-security prisons last week, raising questions about the ability of Iraq's security services to combat al Qaeda, which has been regaining momentum in its insurgency against the Shi'ite-led government.

"The latest operations came at the height of security deployment after the blessed operations to break the chains of the lions in Abu Ghraib and Taji jails," read the statement by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

The group said Monday's attacks were part of a "heavy price" the government would pay for its mistreatment of the Sunni minority, which resents Shi'ite supremacy since the U.S.-led invasion that overthrew Saddam Hussein in 2003.

The jailbreaks came exactly one year after the leader of al Qaeda's Iraqi branch, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, launched a "Breaking the Walls" campaign that made freeing its imprisoned members a top priority, the group said in a statement.

In a separate statement, a spokesman for the combined Syrian and Iraqi groups said the "Breaking the Walls" offensive was over and al Qaeda would move on to a new phase called "the Harvest of the Soldiers", calling Sunnis to join their ranks.

Sectarian tensions in Iraq and the wider region have been inflamed by the civil war in neighboring Syria, where mainly Sunni Muslim rebels are fighting to overthrow a leader backed by Shi'ite Iran.

A suicide bomber blew himself up inside a Shi'ite mosque on the northern outskirts of Baghdad on Tuesday evening, killing six people, and another bomb in a Sunni mosque in the town of Tuz Khurmato killed three.

Six people were killed when a bomb exploded outside a cafe in central Baquba 50 km (30 miles) northeast of Baghdad.

In Baghdad, two blasts near a Sunni mosque in the western al-Jihad district killed two people, and three bombs went off in a busy street in the Turath neighborhood, killing three others, police said.

Gunmen attacked a police patrol in central Mosul, killing two, and in Tarmiya, north of Baghdad, a bomb struck another police patrol, also killing two. A bomb targeted a third police patrol in the town of Mishahda, killing two more.

Mutilated Cows Found at Missouri Farm, Police Not Ruling Out the ...

(Photo Credit: The Mutual UFO Network)

HENRY COUNTY, Mo. (KMOX) ? Who would cut the tongues and take the reproductive organs from several cows? That?s the mystery police in a small town 90 miles away from Kansas City are dealing with.

Robert Hills, Henry County Sheriff?s Chief Deputy, says the first cow was discovered in December of 2011, the second and third this summer. All were female cows and were owned by rancher Lyn Mitchell.

?We couldn?t see any signs of trauma, and it doesn?t appear that there was any type of wild animal, such coyotes, that were involved,? Hills told KMOX.

The first cow discovered on Mitchell?s ranch had her tongue and ear removed. Mitchell told KSHB-TV she assumed the mutilation was part of a sacrificial ritual or just teenagers, so she didn?t report it.

The next two discovered on July 9th and 19th of this year had their tongues removed along with their udders, anus, reproductive organs, and ears. A veterinarian wasn?t called to examine the first two cows.

But one did examine the third one.

Mitchell said the veterinarian told her the cuts to the cow were precise and surgical. Also what seems to be the common denominator of all these incidents is the lack of blood and other bodily fluids surrounding the area and inside the animal.

Mitchell told the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) that the third cow?s heart was removed and exposed, but was not taken. She believes that maybe whoever did this was interrupted and she does not rule out the possibility of aliens.

Watch MUFON?s interview with Lyn Mitchell below:

Deputy Hills says decomposition of animals in the summer can cause a certain type of bloating.

?In some cases its apparent that theses are tears, and in other cases they may look like an incision and that?s what their described as.?

A veterinarian?s report on the third cow is not yet complete. Until then, Hills says this remains an open investigation.

?We?re having to look at this from two sides,? says Hills. ?Some people believe that there are aliens that are involved in this or the possibility of the occult going to the other end of the spectrum, we?ve talked to other people that say that just when cows die that?s what happens to their bodies.?

?We know that there have been quite a few deaths of cattle this year in Missouri due to the ergot fungus that may have lead to these animals deaths. We?re just not able to determine what the cause of death is at this point,? Hills says.
